Storm Drain Cleaning in Spokane Valley, WA

Trusted Storm Drain Cleaning Services in Spokane Valley, WA

Downspout and Roof Drain Lines in Spokane Valley, WA

Many homes connect downspouts to buried pipe that carries water away from the foundation. These lines clog with roof granules, leaves and nests, then back up and dump water at the wall. We jet them clear and test with a hose to confirm flow at the outlet. For flat roofs with scuppers, we check that the discharge path is open too. Keeping water away from the slab helps protect against soil movement and settling.

Catch Basin Cleaning in Spokane Valley, WA

Catch basins are critical parts of any storm drainage system in Spokane Valley, WA, designed to collect runoff and trap debris before it enters the main drain lines. Regular cleaning of catch basins is essential to prevent them from becoming overloaded and causing blockages further down the system. Our service includes removing built-up leaves, sediment, trash, and other debris from catch basins, so they work correctly and protect your entire drainage system. This preventative maintenance is key to heading off larger issues.

Root Removal from Storm Drains in Spokane Valley

Tree roots are a common cause of severe storm drain blockages in Spokane Valley, especially in older neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots seek out moisture and can infiltrate drain pipes through tiny cracks or loose joints, growing and eventually completely blocking water flow. FHN Plumbing uses dedicated root-cutting attachments on our drain snakes and hydro jetting equipment to cut through and remove root intrusions. After removal, we can recommend further steps to prevent future root problems.

Storm Drain Video Inspection in Spokane Valley

Before and after cleaning, a video inspection is crucial for storm drains in Spokane Valley. Our cameras can travel through the drain lines, letting us accurately identify the type and location of blockages, assess pipe integrity, and confirm the results of our cleaning. This technology helps prevent unnecessary digging and ensures a precise solution, especially useful for diagnosing issues hidden underground. Crawlspaces and basements are both common in Washington homes, and a damp crawlspace is often the first sign of a drainage or plumbing problem.

Commercial Storm Drain Maintenance in Spokane Valley, WA

For businesses in Spokane Valley, WA, a clogged storm drain can mean lost operating time and potential liability from flooding. We offer complete commercial storm drain cleaning, often involving larger diameter pipes and more extensive drainage networks. Our technicians are equipped to handle the demands of commercial properties, including parking lot drains and industrial runoff systems, supporting compliance with local environmental rules and uninterrupted operations.

Storm Drain Camera Inspection in Spokane Valley

Before and after cleaning, or to diagnose the cause of persistent blockages, FHN Plumbing offers storm drain camera inspection in Spokane Valley. Using waterproof cameras, we can see the interior of your storm drain lines to identify the exact nature and location of blockages, assess pipe condition, and check for structural damage like cracks or collapses. This non-invasive diagnostic tool gives precise problem identification and lets us provide the most effective and targeted cleaning or repair solutions.

Dry Well Cleaning and Inspection in Spokane Valley, WA

Dry wells let storm water soak into the ground instead of flowing to a street. They are found on commercial sites, HOA common areas and some residential lots. Silt slowly seals the settling chamber and the drainage rock, slowing how fast water drains. We vacuum the chamber, inspect the inlet and outlet, and check drain-down time. If the dry well no longer drains properly, we explain options for rehabilitation or replacement.

Yard and Area Drain Cleaning in Spokane Valley

Yard drains and area inlets collect runoff from lawns, rock landscaping and patios. Over time the grates fill with leaves and the pipes fill with silt and small gravel. We pull the grates, vacuum the inlet box and jet the pipe toward its outlet. This restores the line so it can handle a full storm. We also check that grates are secure and seated.
